(A) RARE CASED MATCHED PAIR OF SCHNEIDER & GLASSICK MEMPHIS TENNESSEE

(A) RARE CASED MATCHED PAIR OF SCHNEIDER & GLASSICK MEMPHIS TENNESSEE DERINGERS. This pair of pistols are very well matched and almost identical condition which measure just under 6" overall with 2" barrels, 2 - 3/4" with breech. Schneider & Glassick marked guns are very scarce and pairs are quite rare. Schneider & Glassick were partners from 1855 through 1862 when William Schneider joined the Confederate Army, which dissolved the partnership. According to Eberhart & Wilson in their text The Deringer in America Vol. 1, there are several configurations of pistols with these markings and there is conjecture as to whether these are products are of Memphis or Nashville, Tennessee and were actually made by Bitterlich. This is a rare pair with great barrel markings, elegantly cased that would be difficult to upgrade. Accompanying case is for presentation only and not a product of Schneider & Glassick but is in overall very good condition with accessories including caps, loading tool, mold, balls and powder flask. PROVENANCE: Collection of John Montague. CONDITION: Very good to fine overall. Metal is gray/brown overall with staining and pitting. German silver mounts and distinctive spur triggers are well fit into checkered varnished stocks that are sound and solid. Guns retain about 20-30% of their original varnish. Bores are worn. Mechanics are fine.Name Value Accessories Case, Accessories Barrel Length (BOTH) 2" Caliber/Bore (BOTH) .45 Rifled FFL Status Antique Manufacturer (BOTH) Schneider & Glassick Model (BOTH) Derringer Paperwork Previous Listing Serial Number (BOTH) NSN, Name, Value, Accessories, Case, Accessories, Barrel Length, (BOTH) 2", Caliber/Bore, (BOTH) .45 Rifled, FFL Status, Antique, Manufacturer, (BOTH) Schneider & Glassick, Model, (BOTH) Derringer, Paperwork, Previous Listing, Serial Number, (BOTH) NSN
